Even though its title as the world’s hottest pepper has recently been disputed — you can now plant, grow, and nurture the Naga Jolokia (Ghost Chili) from the comfort of your own home.
And popping open the DIY planting kit is literally opening a can of whoopass. Water it and talk to it enough, and your new little sproutling will pack over one-million SHU’s — which is akin to licking the sun.

I never thought of myself as a brown thumb, but bought this little can and sure tiny shoots EVENTUALLY sprouted then died as soon as they saw daylight!

John… It pains me that I didn’t reference that in the post. Thanks for making me feel shame.

What about the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum?
